Gridcoin - State of the Network - 1 October 2018
GRIDCOIN - STATE of the NETWORK
Report #23 - October 1st, 2018
Welcome to the 23rd Gridcoin State of the Network Report. The SotN Report is a fortnightly report organized by @parejan and @jringo. It compiles useful news and statistics for the Gridcoin community.
DEVELOPMENT
There hasn't been any major front facing development news over the past two weeks. CBR and other 3.8.0.0 (Betsy Bird) improvements continue to be worked through on the testnet, and PRs for the following milestone (Camila) are being merged. Keep an eye out for news regarding Betsy Bird in the coming weeks!
NEWS
The Distributed Hardware Evolution Project has been added to the Gridcoin whitelist! DHEP is a new BOINC project, but has been operating as a stand alone project for years. The project is hosted out of the University of Sussex and seeks to build and improve on self-diagnosing circuits by using genetic algorithms. Read more on their website here, or watch the TED talk linked below to get an idea about how genetic algorithms are developing in similar technology sectors.

The news about DHEP is very exciting. I participated briefly in the original project.
This post received a courtesy vote from @gridcoin-booster! Thank you for your contribution to the #gridcoin community!
@jringo could you please start posting these reports to whaleshares.io too? That'd be great.
Gridcoin really needs to get to #1 on SETI & WCG :D
Both @jringo and I are waiting for access to whareshares.io but as soon as one of us can post there we will. Furthermore, I just posted the first State of the Network on deals.weku.io as well. The more exposure we can get the bettter.
By the way, the next project where we will reach number 1 is dhep (probably in one month). :D
as parejan said -- if our accounts ever get approved =)
